Nathan Jones NOT going to Argyle

Paven · Jun 5, 2015

Hi all,

Argyle fan here. Had a trawl through and couldn't see anything on your site about this but anyway, Nathan Jones (your first team coach) is currently 5th favourite to take the vacant Argyle job on BetVic..

Don't know what you guys think of this..!

P.S. Obviously am new to this site so would a moderator be able to message me or something? Had an account problem!

I hope not.

I would be gutted as we need someone involved that can counteract our Managers and Assistant Managers insipidness.

He is a good young passionate coach and will do well as your manager if it comes about.

Jones would a good appointment IMO. Much better than Warnock at any rate.

Icy Gull · Jun 5, 2015

I doubt he's in the frame for anything more than caretaker manager should CH leave or be sacked so I imagine it's a job that might interest him. He has gone down the pecking order having been assistant to Oscar and Hyypia, what's to keep him here if he has any ambition?

I'd be happy for him if he got the job (or similar) but it'd be a shame to lose him.

I fully expect to see Jones get a lot more support/compliments in this thread than he would have got at the same time last year (you know, when a large quantity were slating him for no reason whatsoever). How times change!

It would be a decent appointment. I'm sure he would get a little hand from the Albion with a few loan players too.

Iamapen15 · Jun 5, 2015

Thought it was fairly common knowledge that he was being interviewed and is one of 6 short listed for the job.

If you appoint Jones, you may well get a gem of a manager. I think he will do well. He is at this stage, though, somewhat unproven.

I would say that's about the way it is. If he has any ambition I would imagine the right opportunity elsewhere might be something for him to consider. Shame I guess, but I don't imagine he appreciated the demotion after CH's arrival.

To be clear - the ENGLAND U21s.

Jones is pretty highly thought of in the game.

Billy's Barndoor · Jun 5, 2015

Having only won one in eighteen games under Sami Hyypia, Jones took charge on an interim basis at the tale end of 2014. Despite only being in charge for 2 games, he showed good management skills to come back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at home to Reading; and then won 2-1 away to Fulham a few days later. He also won the U21 Development League 2 and the Kent Senior Trophy as manager of Charlton's U21s before he arrived here.

There's no doubt that he would be a risky option, but if I was a Plymouth fan I would be encouraged that we were being linked to a young, hungry manager - certainly compared to the archaic journeyman that is Colin Wan...

GT49er · Jun 5, 2015

Couldn't blame him if he wanted a shot at being the head gaffer. Probably a good bet as far as Plymouth are concerned.

Bombadier Botty · Jun 5, 2015

Noooooo!

Pavilionaire · Jun 5, 2015

I'd like to see Nathan Jones get a chance as manager. I like Plymouth Argyle so this would be a great outcome. I'd also like Hughton to replace Nathan with a forwards coach as all of our coaches are former defenders.

Stat Brother · Jun 5, 2015

According to Virgo, Jones is fookin useless and has already reached his ceiling.
He said the guy was a one trick pony who wouldn't amount to anything.

Or words to that effect, in an appalling 'what I would do' hatchet job on the wireless.

With that in mind may I be the first to start
